What you can expect

Travel from Thessaloniki to Vergina, home to one of Greece’s most important archaeological discoveries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This carefully paced shore excursion is designed for cruise passengers and offers both shared and private options to suit different travel styles.

Your visit begins at the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai, an extraordinary underground complex built around the original burial mounds of the ancient Macedonian kings. Walk through the remarkably preserved royal tombs, including the one traditionally identified with King Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. Along the way, your guide brings history to life, explaining the significance of the gold treasures, weapons, frescoes, and ceremonial objects uncovered here.

Continue to the archaeological site of Aigai, the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedon. Learn about its central role in ancient Greek history and the royal rituals that once defined Macedonian power, gaining a deeper understanding of the dynasty that shaped the ancient world.
